Assignment 2: DCF Analysis – Mid-Michigan Manufacuring Inc. (MMMI) Mid-Michigan Manufacturing Inc. (MMMI) wishes to determine whether it would be advisable to replace an existing production machine with a new one. The have hired your firm as a consultant to determine whether the new machine should be purchased. The data you will need to make this determination is as follows: MMMI has decided to set a project timeline of 4 years. The new machine will cost $1,100,000. It will be depreciated (straight line) over a five-year period (its estimated useful life), assuming a book value of $100,000 at the end of its estimated useful life, i.e. at the end of Year 5. The old machine, which has been fully depreciated, could be sold today for $253,165. The company has received a firm offer for the machine from Williamston Widgets, and will sell it only if they purchase the new machine. Additional Sales generated by the superior products made by the new machine would be $665,000 in Year 1. In Years 2 & 3 sales are projected to grow by 8.5% per year. However, in Year 4, sales are expected to decline by 5% as the market starts to become saturated. Total expenses have been estimated at 60.75% of Sales. The firm is in the 21% marginal tax bracket and requires a minimum return on the replacement decision of 9%. A representative from Stockbridge Sprockets has told MMMI that they will buy the machine from them at the end of the project (the end of Year 4) for $100,000. MMMI has decided to include this in the terminal value of the project. The project will require $100,000 in Net Working Capital, 54% of which will be recovered at the end of the project. Please calculate NPV and IRR for this project. What is the operating cash flow for the first year?
